The role of the nucleus in embryonic differentiation has been subject investigations dating back to beginnings experimental embryology. At first it was supposed by Roux, Weismann and others that is result qualitative nuclear divisions, different blastomeres thereby receiving kinds nuclei which determine their subsequent differentiation. Later on this theory disproved numerous experiments showing that, during early cleavage at least, distribution can be changed will without altering pattern...
The advent of universal neonatal hearing screening in some countries and the availability programs for at-risk infants other has facilitated earlier referral, diagnosis, intervention with loss. Improvements device technology, two decades pediatric clinical experience, a growing recognition efficacy cochlear implants young children, recent change U.S. Food Drug Administration's age criteria to include children as 12 mo led increasing numbers receiving implants. Evidence support provision...
Retinal visual prostheses (“bionic eyes”) have the potential to restore vision blind or profoundly vision-impaired patients. The medical bionic technology used design, manufacture and implant such is still in its relative infancy, with various technologies surgical approaches being evaluated. We hypothesised that a suprachoroidal location (between sclera choroid of eye) would provide significant safety benefits for patients, allowing them maintain preoperative residual as well gaining...
Objective: Examine the influence of age at implant on speech perception, language, and production outcomes in a large unselected paediatric cohort. Study Design: This study pools available assessment data (collected prospectively entered into respective databases from 1990 to 2014) three Australian centers. Patients: Children (n = 403) with congenital bilateral severe profound hearing loss who received cochlear implants under 6 years (excluding those acquired onset after 12 mo, progressive...
Objective Describe the long-term benefits of early cochlear implantation. Provide a comprehensive description outcomes, including: language, speech production, and perception. Compare communication outcomes for implanted children to those normally hearing who received implant at comparatively older age. Method Retrospective review development 35 between 6 12 months age 85 13 24 Audiologic assessments included unaided aided audiograms, auditory brainstem response (ABR), steady state (ASSR),...
Over the past many years genetical research has revealed large numbers of gene effects on cell differentiation. These are usually final phases differentiation, but may also be manifested at early developmental stages (Gluecksohn-Waelsch, 1954; Hadorn, 1948, 1956; Poulson, 1945; and others). In principle, analysis these depends upon permanent alteration or deletion a chromosome segment, subsequent detection change in differentiation—usually deficiency. The evidence so obtained permits...
To monitor cochlear function during implantation and determine correlations with postoperative acoustic hearing.Cochlear response telemetry measures directly from implant electrodes. We have adapted this system to provide real-time (RT-CRT) monitoring of a patient's hearing as the electrode array is inserted.Eighteen subjects (1 child 17 adults) sloping high frequency loss were implanted Cochlear Ltd slim straight arrays (CI422/CI522). Tone bursts (500 Hz, 100-110 dB) presented at 14 Hz...
Aim To record cochlear responses to acoustic stimulation (electrocochleography) directly from a implant (CI) in awake recipients with residual hearing, using an adaptation of Neural Response Telemetry (NRT) that achieves 10-ms recording window. Background Modern implants contain circuitry for neural electrical stimulation, which is known Cochlear Ltd systems as NRT. We adapted NRT achieve extended window long enough electrocochleogram. This paper reports recordings made this system hearing....
<b><i>Aims:</i></b> The Nucleus CI532 cochlear implant incorporates a new precurved electrode array, i.e., the Slim Modiolar (SME), which is designed to bring contacts close medial wall of cochlea while avoiding trauma due scalar dislocation or contact with lateral during insertion. primary aim this prospective study was determine final position array in clinical cases as evaluated using flat-panel volume computed tomography....
In older adults, hearing loss is independently associated with an increased rate of cognitive decline, and has been identified to be a modifiable risk factor for dementia. The mechanism underlying the decline not understood, but it known that greater loss, faster decline. It unknown whether remediation devices can delay This 5-year international longitudinal study investigating impact cochlear implants on function in people severe-profound could onset impairment. first examine major primary...
Due to improved technology, cochlear implant (CI) candidacy has been widened towards patients with usable residual hearing in the low frequency range. These might benefit from additional acoustic amplification provided that can be preserved implantation. To provide a high probability of preservation, new electrode array was designed and developed at Medizinische Hochschule Hannover. This 'Hybrid-L' 22 electrodes spread over 15 mm an overall insertion depth 16 mm. The straight modiolus facing...
<i>Introduction:</i> Preservation of residual hearing in cochlear implant recipients has been demonstrated to be possible and provides the potential benefit combined electric acoustic auditory stimulation. A prototype 16-mm multichannel array designed facilitate placement 22 electrodes without damage intracochlear structures. The electrode is suitable for insertion via round window membrane (RWM) or a small cochleostomy. <i>Aim:</i> To evaluate trajectory presence...
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and issues associated with a research totally implantable cochlear implant (TIKI). Study Design: Limited patient trial. Setting: Tertiary referral center. Patients: Three adult human subjects severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. Interventions: Subjects were implanted TIKI developed by Cochlear Co-operative Research Centre for Implant Hearing Aid Innovation. The has lithium ion rechargeable battery, package-mounted internal microphone,...
During the past several years a number of genes have been discovered by Hum- phrey in Mexican axolotl-genes that affect development at various times ranging from oogenesis to larval stages.1-8Of these, ones exert effects on egg cytoplasm during o6genesis are special interest because possibility they may eventually provide new ways studying and its control over early embryo.One gene particular seems promising this regard.9This gene, designated letter o effect o6cyte cytoplasm, acts as simple...
Objective The aim of the investigation was to prospectively evaluate, in a multicenter setting, clinical performance new magnetic bone conduction hearing implant system. Methods test device Cochlear Baha Attract System (Cochlear Bone Anchored Solutions AB, Mölnlycke, Sweden). Instead skin-penetrating abutment traditional implants, uses an implantable and external magnet transmit sound from processor (SP) through intact skin skull bone. Twenty-seven adult patients with conductive or mild...
Objective The aim of these studies was to investigate the insertion properties and safety a new intracochlear perimodiolar electrode array design (Contour). Background An positioned close neural elements could be expected reduce stimulation thresholds might potentially channel interaction. Methods Two sequential were conducted. In study 1, Contour inserted in 12 human temporal bones. After cochlear surface preparation, position noted basilar membrane examined for damage. On basis outcome...
